Arden-Arcade packs an unusual mix into a small unincorporated footprint — medical and dental offices along Fair Oaks Boulevard and Watt Avenue, retail centers, and some of the older apartment stock in Sacramento County. That density puts medical equipment retirements and retail electronics within the same few square miles, surrounded by apartment residents who need somewhere to take old batteries.
Desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, all battery chemistries, and hard drives with documented destruction. We also take copiers, phone systems, TVs, routers and modems, UPS backup units, audio and video equipment, and devices with built-in batteries. Retail centers often add security cameras and DVRs, which qualify as well.
For a property management company, pickup covers what's left in common areas and vacated units. Residents' own electronics go to Secure Recycle, our sister company for consumers, which operates from our Sacramento address at 3921 Pell Circle, a short drive north. We don't offer residential service ourselves.
No. The Department of Toxic Substances Control treats discarded electronics and batteries as universal waste, which keeps them out of apartment dumpsters and household trash carts. For a medical office there is a second problem: a workstation thrown out with its drive intact is a patient-privacy risk as well as an environmental one.
Medical and dental offices here usually care most about steps four through six. Our program starts with containers and staff training, then a pickup by our own crew. After that, every load is tracked under a ticket number, drives are pulled for wiping or destruction during processing, and you get reports and certificates. At the top data-destruction tier, the certificate of destruction lists each drive by serial number.
Arden-Arcade pickups run under our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications, meeting the documentation medical offices and retail compliance teams both require.
Through Secure Recycle, our sister company at 3921 Pell Circle in Sacramento, a short drive north of Arden-Arcade. Modern Waste Solutions works with businesses, so a medical office or apartment manager with several computers or TVs should book a pickup with us and get the drives logged and documented.
Request a quote and note if you have medical or imaging equipment so we can plan the right crew. We also serve nearby Sacramento, Carmichael, and Citrus Heights.

This was our first time working with MWS and they were amazing! Quick response time, efficient, and friendly. Ivan was the team member who was on site for the pickup, and he was great. He worked quickly, is very knowledgeable, and is so kind. It was so easy working with him. We are looking forward to using MWS for our E-waste and Universal waste needs in the future. - Sacramento City College Sustainability

A little bit off the beaten track in Natomas, but Modern Waste quickly and efficiently helped me recycle my broken Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries at a reasonable $/lb fee (Sac county e-waste will not accept these items). Ramiro and Vincent were very friendly and helpful.
We had another vendor cancel on us last minute & Modern Waste jumped into action & was able to help us with ewaste & critical document shredding overnight. Team was helpful, professional & got the job done quickly & efficiently. We were able to complete an office move out/shut down in a day with their help! Highly recommend this business!
Thank You Gretchen! We are happy to make a difference.
Chris was awesome! He came in and picked up all of the e-waste we had ready for him. He was polite and professional throughout the entire process. He handled the equipment with care, including the site equipment that was already in place. I am very happy with his service and appreciate the great job he did.
I needed hard drives on some old laptops destroyed so any old personal information can't be stolen. The guys there were friendly and helpful and fast. Thanks Pavel and Vincent. Thanks Modern Waste for doing a helpful fast service to us.
We truly appreciate your generous review! 😊 It's fantastic to know our team was able to assist you with your hard drive destruction needs efficiently. We are so glad to hear you had a pleasing experience with us. Our door is always open for all your future recycling needs!
